Questions? 1-800-701-2324
(1) Your group's benefit period is based on a Calendar Year which runs from January 1 to December 31.
(2) Coverage for eligible members. Services will be paid according to the benefit category, i.e., speech therapy. Treatment for autism spectrum disorders does not reduce visit/day limits.
(3) The maternity home health care visit for network care is not subject to the program copayment, coinsurance or deductible amounts, if applicable. See Maternity Home Health Care Visit in the Covered
Services section.
(4) Treatment includes coverage for the correction of a physical or medical problem associated with infertility. Infertility drug therapy may or may not be covered depending on your group’s prescription drug
program.
(5) BCBS Medical Management & Policy (MM&P) must be contacted prior to a planned inpatient admission or within 48 hours of an emergency or maternity-related inpatient admission. Be sure to verify that
your provider is contacting MM&P for precertification. If not, you are responsible for contacting MM&P. If this does not occur and it is later determined that all or part of the inpatient stay was not medically
necessary or appropriate, you will be responsible for payment of any costs not covered.
(6) Prescriptions are covered as long as they are listed on the prescription drug formulary applicable to your plan. To obtain a prescription medication that is not included on this formulary, your provider must
complete the 'Prescription Drug Medication Request Form' and return it to the Pharmacy Affairs Department for clinical review. Under the mandatory generic provision, you are responsible for the payment
differential when a generic drug is available and you or your provider specifies a brand name drug. Your payment is the price difference between the brand name drug and the generic drug in addition to the
brand name drug coinsurance amounts, which may apply.
(7) Certain retail participating pharmacy providers may have agreed to make covered medications available at the same cost-sharing and quantity limits as the mail order coverage. You may contact Highmark at
the toll-free number or the Web site appearing on the back of your ID card for a listing of those pharmacies who have agreed to do so.
(8) Services are provided for acute care for minor illnesses. Services must be performed by a Highmark approved telemedicine provider. Virtual Behavioral Health visits provided by a Highmark approved
telemedicine provider are eligible under the Outpatient Mental Health benefit.
